CDT Board

Canberra Dance Theatre is a not-for-profit organisation run by a volunteer board of management in conjunction with the CDT Artistic Director and Company Manager. Bringing together a range of skills and experience, the Board is committed to the delivery of quality dance programs, performances and classes locally, nationally and internationally.

Board meetings are held monthly with an Annual General Meeting held once a year. Any CDT Member interested in being part of the Board should contact us to discuss further.
